I'm sorry, Mother.
We were in the practice studio, and Director Kang...
Mother, it's me.
What are you doing right now?
Did you...
forget about our plans for dinner with your brother and sister?
- No, I didn't forget... - But?
Don't you think it's rude not to come home without calling?
Especially when you're with your girlfriend.
I'm sorry, Mother.
Something came up.
"Something came up?"
What kind of incredible thing came up for you to act this way?
Tell me.
Well...
I can't tell you right now,
but I really had no choice.
What? Are you serious right now?
We set this up ages ago.
We had to work so hard to sync up our schedules to set this up.
But you don't show up,
and yet you can't tell me right now?
Are you out of your mind?
I'm sorry, Mother.
What if I come right now to meet them?
Forget it. Goodbye.
You made them wait all this time.
Your brother and sister...
aren't people who wait just because you want them to.
Mother.
Why did this have to happen today?
Is your mother really upset?
Well... Yes.
Today's meeting was important.
Goodness.
I'm sorry, guys.
Something came up with your brother.
He said he would come right now,
- but I got so angry... - If he had wanted to meet us,
he would've come earlier.
It took two hours just to get him on the phone,
but he said he'd come as if he was forced to?
Eun A.
We weren't comfortable about coming here either.
We prepared what we could and came here with an anxious heart.
But he failed to show up without being able to tell you why?
Why is he so rude?
Eun A, we don't know what happened to him yet.
- First... - Be quiet.
This isn't the time to play the nice guy.
Eun A.
I get that you're upset and angry,
but can't you understand your brother?
That's why I want to know why he couldn't tell you what came up.
I need to know what happened for me to understand him or not.
Isn't that the minimum courtesy he could show...
for making people wait for two hours?
He could tell us why.
Right. I don't know why...
We should get going.
There's no reason for us to stay when we're not welcome.
Eun A.
I was excited to meet my brother,
but I guess I was the only one who felt that way.
I'll get going.
Eun A.
Eun A, how can you leave like this?
Eun A, hold on.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I should go too. I'll see you next time.
Eun Hyuk...
What on earth is happening?
I waited so long for this day!
Thank you.
I should go.
You didn't even receive all of the IV.
Don't do this. You should get some more rest.
No. The doctor said I was fine. I can get some rest later.
I'm sorry, but can we get going?
Eun A.
Did you have to do this and leave?
Then what should I have done?
He blatantly looked down on us.
Should I have kept smiling and had dinner?
Who? Who looked down on us?
You're getting ahead of yourself.
How can you say that after seeing what just happened?
Mom couldn't say anything either since her son was wrong.
Mother was flustered too.
Nobody intended for this to happen.
What are you trying to achieve by getting mad at Mother?
Then who am I supposed to get mad at?
They invited us over, but only Mom was there.
Eun A!
Let's say I understand her husband since he's not blood-related to us.
But what's with this kid?
He was the one who said he wanted to meet us first.
But he didn't show up nor did he call. What's up with that?
So what do you want to achieve by storming out?
I don't need to know them.
- What? - I said, I don't need to know them.
It's not like we knew of them before.
We could just continue living as strangers.
Just like how our sister doesn't want to meet us.
Eun A.
Yoo Eun A!
Eun A, Eun Hyuk...
Do you think they met their siblings?
Seeing as to how they're not home yet,
they must be having dinner and talking.
They probably treated our kids well. Right?
Since their biological mom was there too.
If that hadn't been the case, they wouldn't have invited them over.
I don't know how her husband feels,
but on the outside, he seems to understand her situation.
Right. By the way,
what do her kids do?
Since their father owns his own company,
do you think they both studied business?
I don't know for sure,
but their son could be studying to be his successor...
and is working as a chief director or manager in the company.
Just like in TV dramas.
Right.
Even though there are management specialists,
I'm sure they want to pass on the business to their son. Gosh.
- Oh, the kids must be here. - What?
Eun A, Eun Hyuk. Is that you?
Oh, my.
- We're home. - Welcome back.
Did you meet your brother and Mr. Kang?
Did you enjoy dinner?
Right. Well...
Hey. What's up with your sister?
Did something happen at that house?
It's not that something happened...
Did someone say something to you?
Was your brother acting territorial?
Gosh, you're so frustrating. Hurry up and tell us.
What's up with your sister?
Nobody was at the house except for our biological mother.
What? What do you mean?
No one was there, except for your biological mother?
So...
none of the people you were to have dinner with showed up?
Your brother or Mr. Kang?
Yes. They both had something come up.
Something came up?
What?
I don't know the details.
Mr. Kang said something urgent came up at work,
- and our siblings... - Hold on.
Are you saying you've waited until now...
without even hearing an explanation?
We thought he'd come, so we waited 10, 20 minutes...
What?
It's not like you're comfortable with each other,
and you need to be careful around each other.
You guys discussed it multiple times before setting the date.
But they didn't show up?
Gosh, that's so rude of them.
If they were going to be like this, they never should've agreed.
Gosh, I can't believe it.
Gosh, the more I think about it...
Honey, this won't do.
Call her to find out what happened.
- What? - Mom, calm down.
I'll call her tomorrow.
This is between the adults,
so go to your room.
Hurry!
What are you doing? Hurry up and call her!
- My gosh! - What?
Okay.
Why is he calling me?
Did Eun A say something to him?
Hello?
What on earth happened?
You invited the kids over and stood them up?
Who stood them up? I was home.
You were the only one there, so they got stood up.
Did the kids go there to see you?
They went to meet your husband and their brother.
Well... Something came up.
I heard. What came up?
Seeing as to how you couldn't explain it to the kids...
I understand your husband,
but wasn't your son being a bit self-centered?
He disregarded his older siblings!
Who said he disregarded them?
My son is very thoughtful and dignified.
But he still canceled like that?
Eun A was so upset...
that she went straight to her room as soon as she got home.
Don't just defend your son,
and think about Eun A too.
Don't show up after 30 years and end up hurting her!
What? Are you being serious?
Yoo Dong Gu. Are you done?
No. I'm not done.
You can't even set up a dinner with your kids,
but you want to take Eun A in?
Listen here, Yoo Dong Gu.
My gosh.
Let's not talk like this. Let's meet.
If you have something to say, say it to my face.
I wanted to talk about our kids anyway.
My gosh. Do you think I'd be scared to meet you?
I have a lot to say to you too,
so choose a place to meet and text it to me.
What? My gosh.
Yoo Dong Gu has gotten quite confident.
He's not like how he used to be.
My gosh.
Does she think I'd back down if she acted like that?
- Right. - It's not like I'm married to her.
- Right. - My gosh.
What is it? Did she say she wanted to talk in person?
Yes. She wanted to discuss things about the kids in detail.
Discuss what about the kids?
I'm not sure.
I'll know when she tells me.
My gosh. What is she going to say this time?
What if she really says she wants to take Eun A and Eun Hyuk?
Gosh.
No way!
What?
Sun Woo isn't home yet?
He isn't. I couldn't reach him suddenly,
so I was so flustered.
I finally got a hold of him, but he was with his girlfriend.
Then...
he didn't show up because he was out with his girlfriend?
Who knows?
He said that something came up that he couldn't get out of,
but he couldn't give me details.
Gosh. I don't like her.
That girl, Yoo Eun Sung, or whatever.
My gosh. Why are you blaming her?
Sun Woo is the one who didn't show up.
Did Sun Woo's girlfriend make plans to meet Eun A and Eun Hyuk?
It's because I have a feeling it's because of that girl.
He finally reached out to me using her phone.
He didn't even answer his phone.
Mother, I'm home.
What? He must just be getting in.
My gosh. What were you doing until now?
I'm sorry, Mother.
I don't need your apology.
You embarrassed me today.
Don't you know what today's dinner was about?
Don't you remember what it took to set this up?
I'm sorry. There was an accident at work.
An accident? What kind of accident?
Well...
One of our employees got hurt, so I went to the emergency room.
And? Are they okay?
Yes, they didn't get hurt badly.
If that was what happened, why didn't you tell me earlier?
Also, it's not like you're the only person who works there.
Why did you have to go?
You said they didn't get hurt badly.
Right, well...
Did your girlfriend get hurt?
What? No, it wasn't my girlfriend.
Then why are you making a fuss?
If you have an important appointment,
you should know when to take a step back.
That's enough.
He went to the hospital because someone got hurt.
It's because I'm frustrated at his behavior.
He used to have good judgment and was quick-witted.
But he's losing his edge now.
My gosh. That's enough.
I'm sure Sun Woo understands now,
so let's go inside.
You should go in and get some rest.
I'm sorry.
I will apologize to Eun A and Eun Hyuk separately.
- Get some rest. - Okay.
Gosh.
I heard on my way in.
So you didn't show up for dinner?
So what?
You heard everything, so why are you asking me?
Just because. You acted like a saint...
and made it seem like you accepted Mom's kids into the family.
But I'm wondering if you felt uncomfortable...
when it came time to actually meet them.
It's not like that.
Something just came up.
Something can come up for anyone at any place.
That's the best excuse to make when it comes to things.
Hey. I'm tired, so get out.
I don't have the energy to argue.
You just have nothing to say.
I'm trying to think about how to apologize,
but she added salt to the wound.
Ha Young, how are things with the police officer?
He hasn't come to the cafe recently.
That's true.
He stopped coming after he didn't get to watch the musical...
with Aunt Ha Young.
Hey, you're the one who canceled on him...
on the night of the musical, right?
I'm sure he wasn't the one who canceled on you.
Well... Something came up at work.
Gosh, I knew it.
I figured that was it when you came in all smiling.
Ga Ram was right.
You wouldn't stay still if you got stood up.
What do you mean?
Anyone can cancel plans...
if something suddenly comes up.
It seemed like the police officer...
was really excited about going to the musical with you.
But his plan to do something special with the girl he likes fell through.
Great-auntie Ha Young, is that why you couldn't call him?
Because he said he doesn't want to hang out with you anymore?
No. What do you mean he doesn't want to hang out?
Aunt Ha Young.
Did he reject you?
No, he didn't reject me.
I'm going to go to the police station after breakfast...
and have a consultation with him.
Oh, really? Is he still consulting for you?
So you didn't get rejected?
Who said I got rejected?
I'm sure he's just too busy to drop by the cafe.
(Hyewon Police Station)
What kind of face should I make...
when I see Detective Yoo?
The consultations are work,
so should I act natural?
Hello.
You're from Cheong Film. Right?
Yes. I am. Who are you?
Oh, right. I'm the new advisor who will be replacing Detective Yoo.
My name is Park Ji Wan.
Won't Detective Yoo act as our advisor anymore?
Detective Yoo is our team's ace,
so he's in charge of a lot of cases and has a lot to do.
You must be surprised because your advisor suddenly changed.
Oh, yes.
I didn't expect it, so a bit.
I see. I might not be as good as Detective Yoo,
but I'll do my best as your advisor.
Oh, okay.
(Hyewon Police Station)
I didn't think he'd quit as our advisor too.
Does he not want to see me ever again?
I like you, Ha Young.
But I decided to quit.
But I can no longer because I'm hurting so much, too.
(Hyewon Police Station)
She seemed really surprised when I showed up as her advisor.
She stared at me for a while,
and it made me feel embarrassed.
I felt bad for her too.
Be good to her.
If she's curious about something, explain it to her kindly.
If she says she's busy, try to meet her when she's free.
Okay. I understand. I'll take good care of her.
Thanks.
Are you really going to end things with Cinderella?
There's nothing there to end.
I was the only one who had feelings.
Even if that was the case, you liked her quite a lot.
That's my own cross to bear.
It has nothing to do with her.
Don't be like that.
You'll end up getting hurt by cutting her out all at once.
You're very warm-hearted, you know.
I'm cutting her out so that I won't get hurt.
Because in the end,
I'm selfish too.
- Director Kang. - Eun Sung.
How are you feeling?
Is your head okay?
You heard the doctor say I was okay...
before leaving the hospital yesterday.
After getting some sleep, my head cleared up,
and I didn't feel dizzy anymore.
Thank goodness.
It's all my fault.
How is that your fault?
That was just an accident.
In any case, you got hurt because you were trying to save me.
I'm telling you it's not your fault.
Besides, if you're in danger,
it makes sense for me to step up.
I'm your boyfriend.
Oh, right.
Is your mother still angry?
I feel like you missed an important appointment because of me.
I'm sorry.
No, it's fine.
I explained things to my mother, so don't worry.
Really?
Your mother isn't mad anymore. Right?
Of course.
Eun Sung, let's get some coffee. It's been a while.
Director Kang!
Director Kang.
The employees said you went to the break room,
so I ran over here at the speed of light.
I was worried that your noble brain got hurt.
If you were that worried, why didn't you call me?
Or you could've texted.
I'm pretty sure I gave you my phone number.
In order to protect your privacy,
I don't call anyone from work outside of working hours.
Work-life balance is important these days.
There are a lot of office workers who are stressed...
because of constant work-related phone calls at any time of day.
First, asking how someone is wouldn't be a work-related call.
Neither you nor I are office workers.
If someone goes to the hospital after hurting their head,
I would say it's urgent, not any time of day.
Gosh, you're a good speaker.
I'm quite good myself,
but you're a true master.
What do you mean you're a good speaker?
Everything you say makes no sense or has any logic.
Eun Sung, don't be like this.
Those flaws of mine were what made you fall for me.
All of those flaws...
Mr. Han Si Heon!
If you came here,
you should go and practice.
Why did you come here?
- Right. - Let's go to the practice studio.
Director Kang, I'll get going then!
Right.
How strange.
I get a bad feeling every time I see him.
I wonder why.
Han Si Heon.
Listen. Stop acting up...
in front of Director Kang or anyone at work.
Who said I was acting up?
I'm always serious and dignified.
You're so serious and dignified...
that as soon as you came to Cheong Film...
you couldn't stop yourself from causing trouble?
What would you have done if something had happened to him?
That's why I was really worried too.
But he's fine.
Hey. Are you serious right now?
I was so shocked that I went to the emergency room.
Hey. Good point. Why did you follow him to the emergency room?
Even if you want to get on his good side,
if you overreact like that, people will think you're a couple.
What? A couple?
Yes. So you should be careful.
Even though that would never happen,
people might end up misunderstanding you.
Gosh, "Lease and Rent Scams That Make Ordinary People Shed Tears..."
"on the Rise."
Gosh, this problem is really serious.
Hold on. Was I too harsh on Jung Sook?
What should I do?
Where can I go now?
Seoul Station?
Or a park somewhere?
Why did you call me?
Gosh, Jung Sook.
I realized what I said last time was really harsh.
I was curious about how you were doing,
and I was worried.
Why are you worried about me?
You said you wouldn't care if I slept on newspapers...
or a ramyeon box.
I said that because I got angry.
I was wondering if you wanted me to look for another place for you.
This time, I'll find you a really nice place that's cheap.
Of course, I'll make sure to double-check...
and make sure that this isn't another scam.
Sir.
Of course, I won't be able to find a place like the last one.
Even if it's not the kitchen or toilet,
there might be something there that seems to be out of place.
Even if it's not cockroaches,
there could be some type of insect that you're not familiar with...
Sir! What are you saying right now?
I don't like the idea of living...
with something that seems out of place...
whether it's cockroaches or other insects!
Then what do you want me to do?
You don't have money. My gosh.
I know that I don't have money.
You don't have to tell me for me to know that I'm dirt poor!
My gosh. It's not like I took all of her money.
Am I the one who scammed her?
Why is she acting like this to me? Goodness.
Are you going somewhere? Why are you putting on your coat?
You only wear that to nice places.
Eun A got you that.
Aren't you meeting Eun A's mom? I should go with you.
We're going to discuss the kids.
You too?
Of course.
I'm Eun A and Eun Hyuk's mom.
I raised them with all my love for 30 years.
Even still, wouldn't it be better if I went by myself?
If you come with me, you'll raise your voices...
and get into a fight.
Even if we raise our voices and fight,
we must address the issues and say our piece.
If you go alone, you'll get intimidated by her.
Do you want to agree to everything she wants and come back?
No, of course not.
I didn't tell her I was bringing you.
Why are you acting so suspicious?
Did something happen the last time you met her?
Did the good memories you had with her come back...
when you saw her after 30 years?
Good memories?
What are you trying to say?
Exactly. If there's nothing there, let's go together.
Lead the way.
Oh, my.
What are you doing home at this hour?
You said you were meeting Yoo Dong Gu.
I came home to go with you.
Oh, my. You left the office...
and came home just so you can go there with me?
Of course.
I said I'd go with you whenever you met Yoo Dong Gu.
I know you said that,
but you said work has been busy.
Plus the chief director from China came into town.
Even if work is busy, this is more important to me.
What if that punk calls you "honey" again?
My gosh. That was just a slip of the tongue...
Whether it's a slip of the tongue or not, I didn't like it.
It makes me mad.
I'm going to go...
and show him exactly who is by Sim Jung Ae's side.
Why do you keep drinking so much water?
We didn't even have a salty breakfast.
I'm not sure.
Oddly enough, I'm nervous at the thought of seeing Eun A's mom...
with you.
Why are you nervous about me and Eun A's mom meeting?
Did you do something wrong?
I'm not sure.
I don't know.
For some reason, I'm nervous...
Sim Jung Ae?
Who's that?
Is that her husband?
The great CEO of KS Foodville?
Hello.
I'm Kang Ki Seok.
Right. I'm Yoo Dong Gu.
I'm Sim Jung Ae's ex-husband...
What did you do for the kids to act so justified?
Who's fault is that?
- If we never got a divorce... - What?
Eun Sung lost the part in Director Hwang's movie...
that she was a shoo-in for.
What? What do you mean by that?
Director Kang was taken to the emergency room last night.
- What? - I don't think Ha Young and I...
are meant to be.
Who on earth is Clock Pendulum?
Eun Sung's ex-boyfriend?
Especially the cat.
